My Proxy/network must be having problems because it is slow for me. But I do like the design and icons

[Aredhran]

thanks guys
in case you noticed, pages are now split every 50 posts
dont know if this changes the way you do things here...

The page splitting will save us the trouble of starting a separate thread when one gets too big, I suppose.

And not automatically including the topic when replying, putting a link to it instead saves a lot of time too. Absolutely great.

I really hate to play the nasty charachter, but here things work upside down for me...

yeah, cool look & gadgets, autosplitting, better UBB, but... I know it's too short a test, but... OK, direct link to second browser window to read the topic ti which you're replying, but...


it's even SL_O_W__E____R....!!!
I don't know why, both at home & at office, when the other say Apolyton is (getting) faster, I can only verify it is (getting) slower. And it's not the present connection, coz right now SMAC forums and ACOL work at the usual pace...

I took 4 minutes to opent this thread, and nearly 6 minutes to open this reply page. I wonder if the ads collide with some setting I could have used...

In conclusion, I like it, really, the only problem is that it was SLOW and now it's SLOWER for me. The web spirit is putting me to a test, I know...

[MarkG]

any slowness has nothing to do with the new forums script and might even not have anything to do with Apoylton or Gamestats(another network in between)
in any case it's temporary

MoSe, if you don't like to see ads when browsing, there is a nice utility made by Siemens (www.siemens.de I believe), called WebWasher, which removes all (or most of) the ads from downloaded web pages.

Check it out. I use it at home, and it's quite nice.

please dont use this program if you want to see Apolyton continue to exist

Don't worry Markos, I only use it at home, where my slow connection needs all the help it can get to download these posts, so I still see your precious little ads when I'm at work

(And I don't read or click on the ads anyway so what's the difference ?)

"And I don't read or click on the ads anyway so what's the difference?"
1) if you allow the browser to load the ad, we get payed
2) if additionally click on it, the company will see that they puting their ad on Gamestats(of which we are hosted and put the same ads) has an effect.
3) if noone clicks on the ad, they'll think again next time... I would, anyway...

I don't like 2 pages.

If we sent you the name of a two page thread, requesting that page one be archived, would it get done?
